Help Understanding the Claims Process After a Car Accident in Kansas City

What is the Claims Process?

After a car accident, the claims process involves notifying insurance companies, documenting injuries, and seeking compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. In Kansas City, both Kansas and Missouri laws impact how claims are handled. The insurance company will evaluate your injuries, vehicle damage, and any supporting evidence you provide. A strong medical record is crucial to protect your rights during this process.

Why Medical Documentation Matters

One of the most important parts of the claims process is having detailed, consistent medical documentation. Insurance companies require proof that your injuries were directly caused by the accident. As an experienced auto injury chiropractor in Kansas City, I focus on documenting every aspect of your injuries — from your initial evaluation to your ongoing treatment — to give your attorney or insurance adjuster the information they need to support your claim.

Key Steps in the Injury Claims Process

Immediate Medical Evaluation

Following a consistent treatment plan shows that your injuries are real and that you are actively working toward getting better. Gaps in care can weaken your claim.

Working with an Attorney (if needed)

A personal injury attorney can handle communication with insurance companies and negotiate for the compensation you deserve. We work directly with attorneys throughout Kansas City.

After an accident, it’s critical to be evaluated as soon as possible. Even if you feel "okay," many injuries like whiplash or concussions do not show symptoms right away.

Consistent Treatment

Settlement or Litigation

Once your injuries are fully treated or stable, you and or your attorney will negotiate a settlement. If the insurance company does not offer fair compensation, your case may move to litigation.
